“ The plaintiffs claim that, upon the addition to the bale of enough inferior tobacco to reduce the proportion, in the entire bale, of the fine wrapper tobacco below 85 per cent., the whole of the tobacco in the bale was made dutiable at only 35 cents per pound. They contend that the unit upon which the 85 per cent. is to be calculated is the entire bale; but we cannot agree with this view. The statute does not refer to tobacco in bales. It does not say that the 85 per cent. is to be 85 per cent. ”
